Open Dialogue in Support of 16 Days of Activism

Johannesburg, Wednesday 25 November 2015– In support of 16 Days of Activism, Brand South Africa is partnering with Lesedi Fm to host an open dialogue in Kroonstad, Free State on Monday 30 November 2015.

The rights of women and children come into the spotlight during the annual international 16 Days of Activism Campaign which calls for the end of violence against women and children. A key tenant of the campaign rests on the notion that before women and children can be empowered they need to be protected.

Brand South Africa invites media to attend the open dialogue to workshop measures that will enable the prevention and eradication of all forms of violence against women and children in the province, and in South Africa as a whole. In line with the 16 days of activism campaign, the dialogue will advocate for the full inclusion of women across all spheres of social and economic activity.
